Winners Announced for National S.T.E.M.

League Finals for Ten80 Teams

Middle and High School STEM teams compete for custom trophies in event sponsored by Mouser.

Miami, FL May 13, 2022 --(PR.com)-- Ten80 Education is pleased to announce the 2022 winners of the
15th Annual National STEM League (NSL) Finals Event for Ten80 Teams on April 29 - May 1, 2022.

Middle and high school students from more than 30 teams collaborated and competed in-person and
virtually in this hybrid event, with approximately half gathering at the home of reigning Champion
RamTech59, Miami Coral Park High School. For teams who could not travel, Ten80 Education
developed an innovative way for students to compete, including a simulated race using data from real RC
cars driving on their home track. All winning teams were awarded a trophy custom-designed by Tom
Patsis of Cold Hard Art.

Overall winning teams this year represented Florida, Texas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, and
North Carolina: RamTech 59 retained the title of Racing Grand Champion, Roarin Lions from Texas
came in 2nd, Ipswich High School’s Father Time won 3rd overall, and Swampshifters of Barbara
Goleman Senior High claimed 4th. For the Autonomous Vehicle Challenge, Iditarod Rover of William
Amos Hough High School in North Carolina took home the top Grand Champion honor, while Fire
NSBE AV of Maryland took second. Also from Hough High, Iditarod UAV claimed the UAV Challenge
Grand Champion title, with second place awarded to Michigan’s Melvindale High School Retro5ive
Squadron. Finally, in a show of dedication, the Omega Rangers based just outside of Shanghai, China
claimed an award in the Enterprise category even though they had to compete remotely under COVID
lockdown restrictions.

On Ten80 STEM Challenge teams, students tackle race engineering, coding for automation, fabrication,
graphic design, marketing, and data-driven design projects that allow them to follow their own interests.
Through their involvement, they develop skills in science, technology, engineering, and math, growing
proficiency through higher-order thinking and lots of practice. Students also improve communication and
collaboration skills as they must function as a team to use ingenuity and critical thinking to solve
problems.

“Ten80 is thrilled to celebrate the drive and dedication of the teams who persevered through this past year
to compete in this STEM Challenge Finals event,” said Terri Stripling, President of Ten80 Education.
“These young leaders worked together to solve problems, fill in for absent teammates, find new supply
chains for tech resources, and practice their innovation skills. With guidance from their coaches, they are
demonstrating the best of what hands-on STEM can accomplish.”

The Finals mark the culmination of year-long programs in which Ten80 Racing, Autonomous Vehicle
(AV), and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Challenge teams creatively engineer performance using
emerging technologies while growing personal, academic, and professional skills. Once students
understand the form and function of each component and system, they optimize its design using data and
math modeling.
